I've got some time but have been thinking about this, too. My son will graduate from high school in May and is supposed to leave in June. I was thinking about combining his graduation party with a going-away/send-off party. I don't know how that i...
Caleb leaves June 23, 2010
We have some time - next summer - before Caleb leaves but wanted clarification on something. I know they will recieve a NEX card to use and it will be taken out of their paycheck. I saw where someone suggested paying the overdraft fees or working ...
I have good news! For us anyway...Caleb has decided to stay for graduation! I am so excited! We are ordering announcements so it is final! Thank you for your input and encouraging words. It also helped him to see the risks of losing out on his job...
I understand wanting to watch him graduate HS - as a mom we've had images of their important milestones for as long as we can remember.
Here is one thing to consider about "leaving early" - your recruit will not be offered the opportunity to leav...
As Chris said, the Navy is full right now. If your son has a chance to leave early and wants to, I think he should *run*, not walk, to MEPS and get in! I'm not trying to diminish walking in high school graduation, but your son will be looking at a...
He is going to finish school in December and will recieve his diploma whether he walks or not. He just isn't sure that he wants to wait 6 months after finishing school to go. He enlisted June 23 of this year so that date next year is the last that...
All this talk of leaving early may be academic. The Navy is full right now and very few people are being taken in. Chances are he won't go until sometime in 2010. Has he been told that he needs his HS diploma to get in? That may be why he has a Ju...
I'm not sure where to post this...we were talking last night - my hubby and my step-son and I - about graduation. Caleb's ship date is June 23, 2010. He will finish high school in December and he was going to get a job and work for a few months be...
Wow! My head is swimming! I just read through this whole thread and am a little overwhelmed with information right now! This is a good place to be!
My son won't leave until after Graduation in May. He only needs 4 more college hours to go up in r...
Hey everyone! My step-son Caleb is scheduled at this point to leave June 23, 2010 for boot camp but is willing to take an earlier date. He will graduate in December but I really want to see him walk in May...he has decided he wants to stick around...
This group is for N4M members that have a loved one leaving for bootcamp in June...I will leave the year open so that even future Deppers leaving in the month of June of any year can join...Lets share stories, information, concerns, and questions
Thanks for sharing! I bet it was wonderful to see him again. My son doesn't leave for bc until next summer and I am already anticipating seeing him at graduation! My friend's little brother just graduated from Army Boot Camp - he wanted McDonalds ...
It has been some time since I've been on here. I've missed it! Caleb is attending classes once a month. We can't get him to work out on a regular basis (he is taking an 80 minute P.E. class daily so he thinks that is good enough) or study. I think...
Thanks for your support. It does really hurt that step-parents have no rights...our recruiter didn't want to fill out any paperwork - whether Caleb's mom wanted to sign or not - until he knew that I was OK with all this. We have never gotten any c...
